Quiet Mode (Q); Selcall Memories; Using Selcall; Entering A Selcall Ident - GME GA9800 Instruction Manual

QuiEt moDE (Q)

your tX3420 can be set to monitor signals on a busy
channel but remain quiet unless it receives its own selcall
ident . in this way, you won't be disturbed unless someone
calls you . When a signal containing your selcall ident is
received, quiEt mode is deactivated and an alarm sounds
to alert you to the call . you can then converse normally on
the channel .
to use QuiEt mode
Please refer to the QuiEt mode section on page 11 .
note: quiEt mode overrides the normal squelch system to
ensure that the radio remains quiet even when the channel
is busy . When quiEt is set, you may see the 'Busy' icon
appear on the display indicating the channel is being used .
however, unless someone transmits your selcall ident,
nothing will be heard in the speaker .
you can activate quiEt mode on individual channels i .e .
some channels can be set to remain quiet while others can
remain open to all incoming signals .
tiP: setting quiEt mode is not mandatory . you can still
use selcall on any channel whether the quiEt mode is set
or not .
